MIR. CODY's BURGLAR TOOLS.
4 Dangerous OutGt that weighed
only Five Pounds.

A correspondent ran across Billy PIN
kerton at the Palmer House, in Chicago,
a few nights ago while engaged in pri-
vate chat with o well-known detective
from police headquarters. The gist Of
the talk was in regard to big safe-rob-
berry that was successfully executed in
Buffalo q short time ago, III which the
work had been cCnsummated very adroit-
ly by means Of the celebrated Paddy
Cody +" tools. After giving his theory in
regard to the robbery Mr.. Pinkerton
grew rather reminiscent, and gave the
following story of the neatest and most
dangerous set of safe tools that have ever
been operated in modern times
Il remember six or seven years ago
that there was regular delnge of rob
berries perpetrated throughout the coun-
try in the safe line. A set of safe tools
had been invented by two notori-
Gus burglars, Paddy Cody and Glib
Yost, who in from ten to fifteen minutes
could open the most thoroughly burglar
proof safes in the country. The police
all over the country made strenuous
efforts to unearth the secret OF these I'M
plements, but for long time were kept
In the dark, owing to the secretiveness
of the inventors. At last Cody and fost
had falling out over the division of
some stolen property, and that let the
cat out Of the bag Glib Yost went to
CHICAGO after the quarrel, taking Il set
of tools with him. and ere many days
had passed he had organized gang for
operating in the West.
Cody remained in the East and
ioiued forces with Tom Mccormack,
Johnny Moore, and Charles Mayhon
aiias THE Down-Easter, and for a long
time they kept up successful system Ot
gopher work. In nearly all these rob-
berries the victims were retail jewellers
located in country towns, and their heavy
losses prompted the Wholesale dealers for
their own protection to form what has
since been known as the Jewellers Sc
curity Alliance of the United States. ,
The detective work of this powerful
organization was given entirely into the
hands OF our detective agency, and / at
once set to work TO find Glib Yost.
"About this time the jewelry store OF
e. Vail & Co.. at La Porte, Ind, was
robbed Of large amount OF diamonds
and iewelry, and from the manner in
which the safe had been opened ! sur
missed ut once that il was the work OF
Glib Yost and his gang. Knowing full
we'll that Glib Yost would come to Chi
cago to dispose of the stolen stuff, l had
q sharp lookout kept for him, and not
long afterwards. succeeded in arressing

A FORGER FOR A QUARTER.
Pensioner Jackson Signs Another
Mans Name to His Affidavit.

A Pittsburgh special says At Blairs-
Vile lives justice OF the peace. Peter
jackson, an ex-soldier, who is on the
books as q pensioner. The law requires
that a pensioner shall appear before "a
notary public and make affidavit that he
is entitled TO the pension every time he
sends in his voucher for it. Mr.. Jack
son, instead OF going to the other Justice
of the town and being sworn swore him
sell and signed the other magistrates :
name to the affidavit. He is an expert
penman, and so closely initiated the sig
nature that the man whose name was
forged could not swear that it was not
his, and the only way he knew that be
did not write it was on account OF bls
not having executed voucher for the
pensioner for over six years.
When the Pension Bureau heard OF
the case it was investigated, and Jack
son replied that he did it to save the ex-
pense of tho usual fee, which is twenty
five cents. While man cannot admin
lister an oath to himself, and the signing
of another mans name to any affidavit
is forgery. there is no statute law that
can punish jackson. The law says TO
commit forgery one must DO it with the
intention TO defraud. and in this case he
was clearly entitled to q pension and did
not try to defraud the Government.

LOOKING SERIOUS.
The Presence or Ammonia In tne W
dafned food OF Man.
ITS DETECTION PUBLICLY CLAIMED BY fHs
OHIO STATE FOOD COMMISSIONERS.
Cincinnati Enqulrcr.l

Nlu1UiNuAt hhtAh"isl
"The Ohio State Dairy and Food
Commissioner. General s. II. Hurst, has
made public Circular No. 81 the results
Of the commissions investigation OF
baking powder. This commission was
formed by the Legislature, with instruc..
tions 10 make an examination OF the food
supply Of the State, and to give report
OF such examination TO the public. The
examination of the baking powders was
made by Professor II. A. Weber, state
Chemist, and. relating as IL does to an
article OF daily use in the food OF almost
every one, is of particular interest.
The startling fact is brought out by the
report that the Royal baking powder
contains carbonate of ammonia-a
powerful but unclean gas generating sub
stance originally derived from animal
excrement. II is but fair TO say that the
Commissioners found DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder free from this poisonous
drug and that it is recommended oy
Government Chemists, the heads OF the
Great Universities and Public Food
Analysts RS the purest, strongest, and
most healthful for general family use.
As heslth is paramount to all other
onsidsrations We would adyiseall house
keepers for the detection Of concealed
ammonia and other deleterious drugs as
well as TO determine tho purity of any
baking powder to make this simple test:
Mix in tin cup a heaping teaspoonful
of the powder with two teaspoonsfuls OF
cold water, place it over the fire, stirring
constantly and allow il TO boil, then
smell. Iii adulterated that unspeakable
odor proving the source OF ammonia
will be plainly detected. The presence
OF ammonia in most cases indicates that
alum is used, as nearly all the alum OF
commerce contains ammonia. Pure
baking powder will not give the faintest
ammoniacal odor.
